Asset Tracker
B-Smart™ Asset Tracker is invaluable for any company requiring full historical life-time ‘cradle-to-grave’ asset tracking. Customer customisable codes for location, status and transaction type allow for seamless integration into any enterprise architecture. B-Smart Asset Tracker is normally integrated with B-Smart™ Meter Asset Manager for gas and/or electricity with Job Manager providing the link between field and resource systems. Beyond the scope of metering requirements, B-Smart™ Asset Tracker can also be utilised as a tracking and job triggering system for any type of asset where lifetime, maintenance schedule and industry compliance monitoring is of critical importance.
The user interface allows for the quick creation of multiple assets either by ranges of serial numbers or numbers of assets and implements full serial number format checking. Built-in functions allow for the creation of outbound information flows needed to communicate asset changes to other systems e.g. for flagging asset availability to field hand held units to ensure that asset information is only entered once so that accuracy and consistency persists.
